Johan Meyer "Palmiet" Pinot Noir 2014

Single site Pinot Noir from carefully selected cool climate areas in South Africa.

Tasting Notes

Young South African winemaker Johan Meyer is making single vineyard expressions of Pinot Noir from selected sites in cool climate pockets. This particular wine is from Elgin, and is the lightest and most perfumed of the three wines in the single site series. (the other two wines are 'Cradock Peak' and 'Elands River').
Light leafiness and crunchy red berries lift the nose, keeping it bright and fresh over sweeter undertones of ripe wild strawbery. The acidity is firm and carries the wine through to a lingering finish, full of bright raspberry and yet more wild strawberry.
